Plane Crash

[PurpleandBlackBlood]

What would happen, god forbid, if A teams plane went down? Would the opposing team be given the win? Thankfully this has never happened with an NFL team...

Is this serious?

1) I think the outcome of a game would be the last thing on anyone's mind.
2) I don't think they'd even count the game at all.

Just make it a tie if playoffs come down to it, but otherwise, people would be more concerned with the incident itself than its effect on a W/L record.

There's no precedent for it in the NFL, and no one would ever want to see a precedent set.

I realize this is college rather than pro, but in 1970 this did happen to the Wichita State football team.

It also happened to Marshall in 1970.

I don't want to see this happen, either.
